What are possible meanings for dreams of police?

Police officers in dreams are among the most common “generic characters,” meaning they are not usually depicted as someone you know and instead are like actors playing a role or extras in a movie. The high frequency of reports of police characters in dreams probably stems from the wide variety of ways they can be used as symbolism.

To begin, police officers are associated with authority, rules, settling disputes, justice and determining right from wrong. Now consider how those associations connect with areas of life, and how a police officer can be used as symbolism. For example, defying a cop can symbolize defying authority or rules—either specific authorities or rules, or just in general. Running from a cop can symbolize fear of getting caught doing something wrong.

Police officers make arrests. See: Arresting

Police officers restrain people. Lack of restraint can mean you “shoot first and ask questions later,” meaning you react to tense situations by getting angry or defensive. Or you pursue sexual encounters even when they cause trouble or put you at risk.

Police are associated with conformity. Police in dreams can symbolize societal or cultural forces that promote or enforce conformity and norms of conduct and behavior.

Police out to get you can mean that you are knowingly doing something that’s wrong, illegal, or reckless. For example, people with drinking or drug habits will dream about police searching or detaining them because police enforce alcohol-and-drug laws. If you make a decision to clean up your life, you might dream about police officers at your home removing unruly guests or intoxicants, as a way of symbolizing removing something causing trouble in your life.

Dreaming about running from the police can mean you don’t want to control or restrain a habit or behavior—or even acknowledge there is a problem. It can show that you deny your inner authority, authority structures, blame, responsibility, or your conscience.

Police are used in dreams when you feel that an injustice has been committed against you, or that you have been unfairly treated.

Police can be used to symbolize taking the blame for something—rightly or not. For example, you know that a snafu at work was your doing, but you haven’t been exposed as the source. That night you dream about police searching your computer because you know it’s where the evidence can be found.

Looking for evidence is another common theme in dreams involving police, and it arises most often when you’re trying to figure why and how something happened, or are protecting yourself from blame. See: Detectives

Police in dreams can connect with issues of privacy or intrusion. You might dream about the police because you wish someone would butt out of your life or stop making trouble. Or someone is behaving in a way that makes you uncomfortable, crosses a line, or just isn’t right. It might not be illegal behavior, but you still dream about the police because you wish an outside authority would intervene or correct the person.

The possibilities for symbolism go on and on. For example, a recurring dream about making a right turn and crashing into the back of a police car symbolizes that the dreamer feels punished for doing the right thing. She had turned in her brother to the police for committing a serious crime, and their father resented her for it.

A dream about a police officer coming into a scene as the dreamer is rolling a joint symbolizes his self-knowledge that his marijuana usage is putting him in danger of getting caught.

A dream featuring the dreamer in a role of a cop ignoring a crime symbolizes a situation where the dreamer witnessed blatant cheating on a test and didn’t say anything about it.

Yo I had the weirdest dream in my ENTIRE LIFE

The first thing I remember is driving a motorcycle, it was a KTM Duke 125 for some reason and I had a passenger. The passenger was a friend which I have recently befriended in real life. We drove past my grandpa’s old workshop when the passenger started leaning forward so far that he pushed me forward as well, and somehow I got flung off the bike and flew forwards maybe a hundred meters through the air before hitting a tree.

I then fell on the ground, and I was sure I was dying. Some girls came along and I asked for help, but one kneeled on my chest so I couldn’t breath. I asked her to stop then she became annoyed and left me to die. Then some boys came along, and they sat with me, not saying anything or having any emotion at all while I struggled to call the police.

When they arrived, my mother and grandpa was suddenly there as well. But then I heard someone shout in panic. I looked up, and you won’t believe what I saw.

It was a small VTOL type jet plane which came burning down from the sky. As it was about to crash, it used its VTOL engines to try and fly upwards, but it started flying backwards and up, uncontrollably. It flew into a hangar which doesn’t exist in real life and flew through the roof. Creating a massive explosion and ripping the outer shell of the cockpit off, revealing The Stig from Top Gear as the pilot. The plane then started going down again and headed towards me. The ailerons on the tail fin nearly decapitated me, however the plane was able to start flying upwards again.

And that’s about when I woke up.

Killed a relative with a knife in my dream,it was so realistic, leaving me quite disturbed

He is a politician, I walk with him in a basement he doesn't attack me , I just stab him in his chest, come out ,tell my family what I did.

But I don't face any police action, then I realise how I can not talk with my cousins and wife because I killed their father!

I cry saying this is a big regret of my life and how can it be normal again 💔

I don't know why this dream happened, maybe because yesterday I saw a brother of the man who was stabbed in the groin by his wife last year in our society, this is closest I can explain...what might be the reasons?

I just had the most terrifying dream of my life. Someone please help.

Okay I literally just woke up and i’m panicking. I can give more details later if i remember but right now i’m a little unnerved. Someone please tell me if this has meaning.

There was a body in the front seat of my car and my partner and i got out to call the cops. Instead of cops showing up, a sports car with 4 men showed up and when i told them what happened they ran into the house only to die. Another cops drove by and i flagged them down but they parked in my neighbors across the streets driveway and the old cocopsnd the car turned into my neighbor and i was helpless. My partner and i walked back across the street to my house and i suggested maybe i could only see the things happening because i was schizophrenic when a middle aged lady with a cigarette said “but i can see you guys” and ran into my house. I chased her demanding answers and she said “they’re most prevalent in may” and disappeared and i kept screaming “you’re not welcome here” until my voice become not my own. i went back out to my car and there were more dead bodies in my car and a little girl on top of my car with bruises. i noticed my partner in the front passenger seat and they had puncture wounds everywhere. the little girl had a hammer and said she had to kill my partner and kept hitting my partners skull with it. i had to kill the little girl by using a pickaxe and swinging into her brain. Then i got the feeling the ccopswere going to frame me for every murder and woke up.

Can anyone tell me what my dream is about??

I have a dream about myself in a gta V type of place but I'm not in a game because it's a real experience as i would call it. I've made a crime of some sort and police chases after me. Later that time i found myself in the sky in a motorcycle with wings (it really looks like the ones from gta V) and i would fly around the city to not get caught, after a while i landed myself outside the map (maybe it's the game I'm in). You really can tell if it's outside the map if there's border (steel fence with barbed wire) and you can't go there unless you force or find a way to get there, the bike really did the job and as if like I can go there anytime without force. I met a girl there which i think is also lost and amazed in the place and after we met she was kinda shy and long after that i saw that we hugged each other and float slowly like we were meditating, i hugged her and it feels special like i wanted that so bad that I don't want it to end like this is the thing i've been finding for so long. She then turned her back against me while hugging her and we dolphin kick (swimming technique) at the same time floating up a bit until i woke up (the end really is a wierd twist that's why i need your help maybe there's something about it like a meaning about me). The outside map looks like a barb wired steel fence like i said with an unfinished hollow block walls parallel to it some sort of an unfinished building maybe.

Dreamt I was interacting with a large group of people. How did my brain make up 100+ strangers?

Most people were complete strangers to me. I was interacting with them as they were all interacting with each other. The interactions were fun, joking, flirting, etc. I wasn't the center of attention, the group had something else going on and I wasn't involved with it. How did my brain make up a ton of people I've never seen before?

I did recognize a small number of people (maybe 3) that I believe I've seen or met in awake life but even they were basically strangers to me as well. I interacted with them as if I hadn't seen them in a long time. I felt that I was seeking them out because they were more recognizable to me and I felt some kind of small connection to them. I was hoping they would help me find what I was looking for.

From what I gathered, the group was working in my industry so I was trying to find the leaders of the group to make a connection. While interacting with multiple people and sorting out who the leaders of the group were the police arrived and started searching for the same people/person. The group disbursed and I ended up finding the leaders who stayed behind but now they were dealing with this police situation. I waiting around trying to find an opening but ultimately decided to leave them alone because it would have been seen as bad taste to try to make a connection while some of their friends were getting arrested.

Then my alarm went off.
